Abstract
D-Tagatose 3-epimerase (D-TE) from Pseudomonas sp. ST-24 catalyzes the epimerization of all D- and L-ketohexoses. D-TE immobilized on Chitop earl beads BCW 2510 was used for the production of L-tagatose and L-fr uctose from L-sorbose and L-psicose, respectively. The production yiel d was 20% for L-tagatose from L-sorbose and 65% for L-fructose from L- psicose.
